liferea should follow GNOME font preferences

Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea-mozilla

Mozilla renders feed items with the default font being some kind of Serif font at size 12. This is not one of my GNOME font preferences, and I don't understand where it comes from.

There is something that can be done to make it honour the prefs. I have done it in the past, I just really can't remember how to now.

This should really be the default behaviour, as Liferea looks very out of place otherwise. See attached screenshot.

Cheers.

Installing liferea-gtkhtml and selecting GtkHTML2 rendering engine under Browser in liferea preferences should solve your problem.
I don't know either where the default font of liferea with mozilla engine comes from.
I agree liferea should follow GNOME font preferences by default.
